The thumb stick can be a bit wonky cause u can't really make a touch screen thumb stick that isn't. U use gems to get cannons and ships. U can buy them or u can destroy ships for 1 or 2 gems or watch a 1-min ad for 2 gems every min or so...so It's forgiving toward gem use which is nice. U don't feel like ur being forced to buy gems. Then u use the gold u get to upgrade... overall simplistic but in a good way.

Fun and captivating. The gameplay is smooth, and I really enjoy sailing around and sinking other ships. You only watch ads when you choose to, which is a feature that I greatly appreciate in a phone game.

I've had a lot of fun with this game. Definitely worth the cost of the ad free version (although the ads aren't bad if you play for free) my only notes are that we need more maps, currently I only see the 2, and you can't go back after moving up. Eventually the enemies on the second map scale up with you, so you will still have a few difficult enemies when your ship is upgraded. The difficult enemies pay gems in addition to gold, so you can get premium currency for free. The game is short imo

When I have to watch your commercials it's impossible to come back to the game. Even when I follow all the prompts, and I've downloaded some of the applications in the ads I can't get back to the game! I would warn people away from this game the shame of it is, I was really enjoying it until I couldn't get back after watching an ad or even downloading

I was having a ton of fun with the game, early on it offered a 4.99 upgrade to a ship and also showed an icon for new ads. After getting to the second map I regretted not buying that as it really helped to watch ads for the double bonus. So I reset my account and went back to buy that first upgraded ship with no ads. However the game still shows ads even after buying the upgrade, I assumed the $5 upgrade meant that you could get the double perks without watching an ad as most other games.

Fun little game. No Forced ads is a BIG+. I was going to give 4/5 stars, but I know you won't see this if I do. Make changes/improvements for more stars 😉. Definitely gets better when you start leveling up and can board other ships. Needs daily check in bonuses and more challenges to get gems otherwise you're capping out on the 3rd or 4th ship with no hope of ever progressing past it without the pay wall. Add the ability to zoom out to see the whole map or a large section you're currently in.
